    McLaren 570S vs E92 M3 and a couple of 911s

    It's been quite the dry spell. Nobody seems to mess with the Mac. It just elicits a lot of thumbs up, questions and cell phone pics. Today was a bit different. When heading home from coffee I come up on an E92 M3, a 997 and a 992, that were moving through traffic at a fairly brisk pace. I figured I would tag along.

    After arriving at a red light, I was behind the German train and we were all making a right onto a 4 lane road. I wasn't sure what these guys had planned, so I dialed up 'Track' mode on the handling and drive train...... just in case!

    We all turn right and the 3 of them get side by side with me about 5 car lengths back. They all hit it at about the same time so I figured what the hell, I'll have a go.

    The Mac never ceases to amaze me. The 570 realed them in and I was by them so quickly that it was a bit humbling and they gave up the ghost pretty quickly. We were coming up on a nice sweeping on ramp that I was able to give the beans to, but the Nazi patrol was long left for dead.

    After 30 years of Ferraris, I am a convert!

    Nice kill . We rented the 570s for my brothers wedding. Very quick and it's amazing how fast that thing accelerates.

    There really aren't too many places that you can 'give it full beans'. Without risking a visit from the boys in blue!

    I haven't been back here in a while. What happened to all the stories? Are all the kiddies staying home feeling sorry for themselves, playing video games and living their lives on social media?
